Well, I was saying you don’t have to be a mod. If we look at examples beyond “alt” communities, !superbowl@lemmy.world 's main poster isn’t a mod. Likewise, !bmoviebonanza@lemmy.world 's most frequent poster isn’t a mod either.
It doesn’t have to be hard work. Just pick a couple communities and start engaging at the level you’re comfortable with.

I’ve noticed it goes in phases:
- dormant community. maybe occasional posts.
- one person posting regularly. maybe they’re a mod, maybe not. some upvotes, occasional discussion.
- 2-3 people posting regularly. others post occasionally. some upvotes, occasional discussion.
- several regular posters, several others post occasionally. regularly upvoted posts, frequent discussions
!gothindustrial@lemmy.world is currently in phase 3 but it was in phases 1 and 2 for a while. !cyberpunk@lemmy.zip is bouncing between phases 1 and 2. !thrashmetal@lemmy.world is in phase 3. Punk is interesting bc it has both !punk_rock@lemmy.ca and !punk@lemmy.world. Ideally they’d join forces on !punk_rock@lemmy.ca and then they’d be in phase 2 or 3. !metal@lemmy.world is pretty much at phase 4, tho it’s sometimes lacking in discussions.
Anyway, I recommend picking one of those communities and posting/discussing, you don’t have to be a mod to help grow them.

!gothindustrial@lemmy.world just relaunched recently, previously it was only music-focused but now we welcome any related discussion. though we’re still mostly just posting music links, lel.

On what basis comes the conclusion that there is no architect behind it?
That’s a great point - if there are divine beings, they wouldn’t necessarily build the universe using a bunch of elves or something – better to spark a Big Bang with the right starting conditions and let everything develop from there. I think it’s more correct to say that evolution and modern physical cosmology provide an explanation of how and why the universe exists without necessarily needing divine intervention.

I’ll go farther and say that its wrong.
Well, it’s debatable but I think it comes down to defining your terms.
- “Evolution is blind” suggests no guidance at all, and as you say there is randomness, but an important part of the evolutionary process is survival and propagation which are guided by the environment. so arguably evolution is NOT blind.
- However the evolutionary process is reactive and does not involve long-term planning so you could argue that “blind” means “looking ahead, considering more than what you can immediately sense.” so arguably evolution IS blind.
Either perspective agrees that there is no “Grand Architect” and/or “God’s Plan” which I think is the general point being made. But it’s just a little distracting.

This is kind of cheating, but here’s a movie-length edit of Patrick “Picard” Stewart as Lenin from the miniseries “Fall of Eagles”: www.youtube.com/watch?v=dsiU0P-swYE
- Comment on Embrace this Truth and enjoy life 5 days ago:
“Evolution is blind” is debatable. Arguably, we evolved to fit an environment. We are survivors.

Spez would be very disappointed to hear you say that. He would immediately shoot another DM to Elon telling him he’s trying real hard to be just like him.

When my BFF’s cat died, they were crying, upset, completely disconsolate. I was a bit suprised that they were even sadder than when their father had died. They said: “it’s because my cat never told me I was doing everything wrong.”
Likewise, there’s a saying along the lines of: every man is a hero to his dog. Some people talk to plants, or hug stuffed animals. So I think there’s value to that kind of relationship. Obviously if you ONLY talk to plants or stuffed animals then you might get a little weird, but otherwise it seems OK.

How could you say such a thing, and NOT give his age as 69?

My husband said it was embarrassing that I fell for it and he’s ashamed. Thanks.
Tell him you tend to fall for obvious, shameful things. Then look at him meaningfully.

I like the one on the left – at first glance it looks like just a decorative piece, but the rounded top recalls a natural phenomena, something at the cosmic level like the formation of constellations, or at the atomic level perhaps; so the “tentacles” come off as bursts of energy. The one in front is fun, it makes me think of an octopus riding a chicken that’s laying an egg.

- Comment on What is better for name generation: Markov chains or RNNs? 1 week ago:
In general, I use the simplest technology that does the job. So it really depends on what you’re generating names for. A lot of times, just selecting items from a list of firstnames and lastnames is enough.

In the name of christianity, they also burned thousands of books, leaving only 4 behind: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maya_codices

jungle reclaimed that land, hiding them. (mayan temples, for example.)
I bet you those half-buried mayan temples were THE spot where all mayan teenagers went to hang out.
